A lovely memory of Paris with my beloved @lera.barkhatova

India’s stepwells are a masterpiece of architecture, blending symmetry and asymmetry in the most mesmerizing way. The colors of the women’s saris bring life to the geometric perfection of the steps, creating a scene that feels both timeless and surreal.

Looking up in a city where space is a luxury and life stacks itself into every corner. The layers of lights, windows, and lives create a mesmerizing chaos that somehow feels alive and harmonious. This view isn’t just architecture—it’s a portrait of a Hong Kong's heartbeat.

His eyes, framed by thick glasses, seemed to hold stories of generations. Sitting in the golden light of Rajasthan, wrapped in the simplicity of his white attire, he embodied resilience and grace.

Deep in the heart of Colombia, I found myself in an emerald mine—a world of grit, hard work, and raw beauty. These hands, worn from countless hours underground, hold treasures that take millions of years to form.

Capturing this scene in Vietnam felt like chasing a dream. Moments like these remind me why I love photography—finding beauty in the quiet, surreal interplay of light, shadow, and landscape, and freezing it in time.

Resilience

Every wrinkle tells a story.

Some places feel like a scene from a storybook—this was one of them. The colors, the textures, the way the light hit just right. Watching Lera wander through this space felt like stepping into another time. Turkey has a way of making even the simplest moments feel cinematic.

Namibia has a way of making you feel small in the best possible way. The sheer scale of the dunes, the way the light carves through the landscape, the lone tree standing against the wind—it’s nature’s masterpiece, painted in sand and shadow.
